They’ll flood the media with sophistry, strawman, false dilemma, faulty equivalence, et tu quoque and appeal to authority but no matter what logical fallacy, cheap shot, legislative legerdemain, deflection or mischaracterization the pro-abortion gang employs, it doesn’t change the answer to the fundamental question:
When is it OK to take the life of a helpless, innocent human?
Never!
By Peter R. Sgro Jr.
An open letter to Bureau of Women’s Affairs Director Jayne Flores,
Since the initial drafting of “The Guam Heartbeat Act of 2022,” I have been fortunate to meet various stakeholders, including those that are pro-choice. All our conversations were reasonable and rational absent of any finger-pointing. Unfortunately, an April 8 press release you issued as director of the Bureau of Woman’s Affairs was riddled with personal attacks, statements that are not factually based or legally based and even contrary to the enabling legislation that created the bureau.
Arguments against abortion bill not supported by facts
By: Tim Rohr for Pacific Daily News
In “Copycat abortion bill is ‘dangerous, outrageous’” (Pacific Daily News, Apr. 11, 2022), Anita Arriola began her letter “It’s like clockwork: you can count on it. Virtually every election year one or more senators copy an anti-abortion bill…slap their names on it, and introduce it in the Guam Legislature.”
There is no medical justification for abortion
by: Marjorie DeBenedictis, M.D.
It disappoints me that some members of the Guam’s medical community taint the profession by supporting the deliberate killing of unborn children – in blunt language, that is what "termination of pregnancy" means. Whenever a pregnant woman presents herself to a doctor, the physician is responsible for treating two patients — and this does not include fulfilling the wish of the woman (or her male partner) to rid herself of an unwanted child.
Criticism of anti-abortion bill really misses the mark
by Tim Rohr
In “Health, not politics, should drive medical decisions” (The Guam Daily Post, Letter to the Editor, Apr. 11, 2022), the authors, Anita Arriola and 12 other women, began their letter with: “It’s like clockwork: you can count on it. Virtually every election year one or more senators copy an anti-abortion bill, ... slap their names on it, and introduce it in the Guam Legislature.”
As the saying goes: you are welcome to your own opinion but not your own facts.
The last “anti-abortion bill” introduced by a Guam lawmaker was in 2016, an election year, but given it was introduced in January, nearly a year before the election, it hardly qualifies as a campaign move.
